CfE includes ICT Experiences and Outcomes which form part of our curriculum. For example..
TCH 2-03a As I extend and enhance my knowledge of features of various types of software, including those which help find, organise, manage and access information, I can apply what I learn in different situations.
ICT is a cross cutting theme.
"The important purposes of the technologies depend upon effective interdisciplinary working through connections across and between subject boundaries."
Teacher confidence and skills levels are a real issue for schools.
Where there is a real difficuly with staff's ability to engage, it is still the responsibility of th HT to ensure all students receive a balanced curriculum and access to their full entitlement.
Possible solutions? Creative mentoring; training; coaching........
Reliability and understanding of hardware and infrastructure plays a significal part in undermining teacher confidence.
A group of teachers were asked one simple question; What is the most difficult thing about integrating technology?
This data was collected from a group of teachers in Ontario but resonates with what we are hearing across Argyll and Bute Schools.
Possible solutions? Better communication of our needs with our corporate colleagues; a commitment to review and evaluate in response to the pace of change; willingness to explore other successful LA solutions.
